A key to the classification of cutaneous mechanoreceptors
Abstract
The cutaneous mechanoreceptors of the cat can be assigned to one of 11 groups by using physiologic tests performed with hand-held stimulators. The method of classification is described, and the validity and utility of this classification scheme are discussed.
